You will know exactly what your brand rules of engagement need to be.
We do what ever it takes:
Defining the DNA of brands in a layered and empowering way. Establishing the platform for differentiated Melbourne brand strategies that offer an edge require both a strategic and creative mindset. It is why our process is framed by rigorous methodology and collaborative exploration. Our branding approach is:
1. Feel for Context. Every brand project commences with a review of the context in which the brand lives. Diving into relevant research, reviewing how competitors’ position themselves, understanding consumer trends, and the overriding strategic intent and aspiration of the business. Brand positioning is a relative concept and understanding the competitive landscape is important.
2. Collaborative Exploration & Definition. Our intent is always to provide sufficient brand definition to allow brand managers to make informed and aligned decisions. We create layers of meaning to ensure that everyone has absolute clarity about, and feel for what the brand stands for.
